Han bags the Olyroo generation

[Stuckey]

THE Olyroos are Australian soccer's lost generation, says FFA technical director Han Berger.

Berger was critical of the under-23 internationals born in 1989 and 1990 - the current Olyroos age class - saying they were never up to scratch.

With no goals in six Olympic Games qualifiers, Australia's under-23s ended their dismal London Games campaign at the bottom after their fourth dour scoreless draw - this time against Iraq - in Gosford on Wednesday.

"To be honest I've said that after we were eliminated from the Olympics we knew beforehand that this was the '89-'90 generation and unfortunately that was not the really the strongest generation," Berger said.

I'm sorry but if thats the best excuse he's got for the embarrasment of the last 6 matches he's got no clue what he's doing. Goodbye Han don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I wonder if its somehow been taken out of context.

Otherwise it seems like he is passing the buck since he is responsible for youth development

Well the quote is there in black and white. I can't see how it could mean anything else.
Yes he is passing the buck completely. Thats what makes me so furious about this.

FOOTBALL Federation Australia Technical Director Han Berger is concerned about the Socceroos' chances of qualifying for future World Cups due to problems with junior development.

Speaking at the announcement of the appointment of Aurelio Vidmar (Under-22s) and Paul Okon (Young Socceroos) as coaches of Australia's youth sides on Thursday, Berger said the nation's youth set-up had reached a critical stage and he was growing impatient at the lack of progress
